FREDERICK OVERFIELD, OF CORNWALL, NEW YORK.

WEATHER-S RIP.

Specification of Letters-Patent.

Patented June 23, 1908.

Application filed January 22, 1908. Serial No. 412,082.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I', Fnnnnnron OVER- FIELD, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Cornwall, inthe county of Orange and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Weather-Strips, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to weather strips especially adapted to be usedon casement windows, the object being to provide a weather strip formedof a female and male member, which are so constructed that whenconnected to the sill and lower rail of the sash, an exceedingly tightjoint will be formed when the window is closed.

Another object of my invention is, to rovide the female member carriedby the si 1 in the form of a gutter, which is connected to a drainopening leading out through the sill, whereby the water which is driveninto the same will be conveyed ofi.

Another object of my invention is, to provide a weather strip which isexceedingly simple and chea in construction, and one which is not liableto get out of order.

These objects are obtained by the novel arrangement and construction ofparts hereinafter fully described and shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which:

Figure 1, is a vertical section of a portion of the sill and windowframe and swinging sash. Fig. 2, is a perspective view of the sillshowing the female member of my imroved weather strip secured therein,and, ig. 3, is a perspective view of the male member of my improvedweather strip, which is carried by the lower rail of the sash.

In the drawings A, indicates a sill of an or dinary window casing and B,the swinging sash. A longitudinal groove is formed in the sill, adjacentits inner edge, in which is secured the female member comprising alongitudinal slotted tube C,forming a gutter over one end of which issecured the hooked edge of a strip D, which is Z-shaped in crosssection, and 1s secured on the top of the sill, adjacent the groove. Thetube extends up above the face of the sill a slight distance as clearlyshown, and is provided with an opening C, which communicates with a boreE, forming a drain which extends out through the sill, whereby the waterwhich enters the tube will be conveyed outside of the building,

The lower end of the lower rail of the wind ow sash B, is rabbeted asshown. at B, forming a shoulder B and is recessed as shown at B in whichis secured a rubber packing strip F, by the male member formed of anangle strip G, which is secured to the shoulder by screws G. Theoutwardly extending. portion of the angle strip is slightly inclined,and is adapted'to extend into the slot of the tube when the window isclosed, whereby when any rain or snow is driven under the sash over thestrip D, it will be conveyed into the tube. The lower end of the rubberstrip F, engages the side of the tube as clearly shown when the windowis closed, so as to form an air tight joint, thereby preventing any airfrom passing over the strip D, into the tube and out under the loweredge of the sash. A curved strip H, is secured in a longitudinal grooveformed in the outer ends of the lower rail of the sash, so as to conveythe water from the sash out beyond the strip on to the sill where itwill be readily drained off.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that Ihave provided aweather strip composed of a male and female member, the male memberbeing carried by the sash, and the female member by the sill, wherebywhen the two are joined a very tight joint will be obtained.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A weather strip comprising a split tubular female member having astrip arranged over one edge, and a rubber stri and an inclined malemember coacting wit said member, said rubber strip engaging the tubularmember, and the male member extending into said tubular member andengaging said strip. 1

2. The combination with a window casing,

rovided with a swinging sash, having a ower rabbeted rail, of a splittube secured to the sill of the casing, a rubber strip secured in therabbet of the sash, an angle strip secured over said rubber strip, saidangle strip being adapted to extend into the tube, and

the rubber strip to engage the tube when said sash is closed.

3. The combination with a window casing,

an o enin a drain assa e communicatim I a c:

with said opening, a stri Z-shaped in cross section secured to the si 1,having a hooked edge fitting over one edge of the tube, a Weather stripsecured to the shoulder of the sash formed by the rabbet, adapted toengage said tube, and an an 1e strip secured over said rubber striprovlded With an inclined portion, adapted to extend into said tube, andengage the hooked edge of said strip.

ga i. A eather strip comprising a female member and a male member, thefemale member being formed of a split tube, of a strip Z-shaped in crosssection, having a hooked edge secured over one edge of said tube, saidmember being adapted to be secured t0 the sill of a WlIldOW, and a malemember adapted to be carried by the sash, comprising an angle stripadapted to extend into said tube and engage the hooked edge of saidstrip, for the pur ose set forth.

In testimony whereof have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.
